Militants in Pakistan sever Afghan supply link

[Adsos Letter]

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Suspected militants blew up a bridge in northwestern Pakistan's Khyber Pass on Tuesday, cutting the main route for supplies bound for Western forces in Afghanistan, a government official said.

Militants in northwestern Pakistan stepped up attacks on the crucial route into landlocked Afghanistan last year in an attempt to deprive international forces fighting the Taliban of fuel and other supplies trucked in from Pakistan.

Senior district official Nasir Khan said all traffic along the route was suspended.
